Day2
    Excursion to the Valley of the Moon
  • Chile - San Pedro de Atacama
  • Breakfast Breakfast at the hotel.
  • (Not included)
    Rest at San Pedro de Atacama Free morning in San Pedro de Atacama to rest and gradually acclimatize.
    To minimize the effects of altitude, it is recommended to take it easy, stay hydrated (coca tea works quite well), walk slowly, and eat light meals.

  • 16:00
    Valley of the Moon At around 4:00 p.m., you will depart to visit one of the region's main tourist attractions: the unmissable Valley of the Moon (a shared tour lasting approximately 4.5 hours).
    The site is located about 20 km from the town and is at approximately the same altitude (2,550 m).

    This is an authentic movie set; a magical place that evokes lunar landscapes, composed of sand dunes and rocks sculpted by erosion, wind, and, of course, time. But it is at sunset that you will be able to appreciate the spectacular beauty of this natural setting. All this accompanied by a local aperitif: the famous pisco sour. Cheers! [English Guide]
